Tiger’s Heart Players

Look who’s back! Yes, as they say, “it’s been a minute”. After a much needed break I’ve returned to my little island in the sun. My little pleasure palace. I started “zulufits” about 12-15 years ago. In my mind that’s easily a full lap around the track. But I do it mainly to keep a record for myself, to show whatever activity (or lack thereof) I have going on. Just to say “hey I was here, I wrote some plays and I tried to get from A to B”. I get to whine, procrastinate, and maybe shed some light on my own “Quixote-esque” writing journey. The older I get, the more windmills I still have to slay.

This past weekend I had a zoom excerpt from “B-Side Man” read by Tiger’s Heart Players. Who the dickins are Tiger’s Heart, you ask?

The Artistic Director is Wayne Paul Mattingly, who’s currently located in Spain. And the actors, audience and playwrights came from with playwrights and actors from India, Australia, France, Spain, California, Tennessee, Maryland, Pennsylvania North Carolina, Virginia, New Jersey, and NYC…

Here’s what was presented:

B-Side Man (Part 1) by Alonzo LaMont

Hell is Empty by Brian Petti

Plastic Castle by Rebecca Kane

Periot by Allison Whittenberg 

Louis and Clark by David Guaspari

The feedback pretty much supported my thoughts about “B-Side” that I’ve had from the git-go. That it’s got alotta “rock-em sock-em” drama to it. So Tiger’s Heart gets two thumbs up from me. Fall is my most favorite season. Who doesn’t love the transition from summer to changing leaves, cooler nights and all the self-reflection you can handle. Should ya choose to go there.
